Cowboys’ Trevon Diggs’ Son Aaiden Announced as Media Day Host at NHL Stanley Cup Finals Between Oilers & Panthers

The Florida Panthers are set to battle against the Edmonton Oilers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals tomorrow. While hockey fans rejoice to see their favorite teams go head-to-head, the match gives NFL enthusiasts something to be excited about, especially the Dallas Cowboys fanbase. That’s because Trevon Diggs is letting his son participate in the game, just not in the manner you’d think of.

An NFL writer for Press Coverage who goes by the name of Brandon Loree has news that will make everyone flip TV channels and look for the remote if they don’t have it nearby. This is the NFL-NHL crossover that nobody expected coming from this Maryland native’s family.

Trevon Diggs’ seven-year-old son already a national-level star

Brandon Loree took to X and shared a post from the Cowboys’ CB’s son Aaiden’s account. Loree’s post read, “Aaiden Diggs is turning into a media icon. The son of #Cowboys Trevon Diggs will host media day for the @NHLStanley Cup Finals. Media, football, whatever else—Aaiden’s future continues to get brighter .”

The post shows a picture of a young seven-year-old boy dressed for the occasion. He’s rocking a white T-shirt with what looks like some Off-White Kicks from the late, iconic fashion designer Virgil Abloh. The caption on the picture said “@aaidendiggs hosting @nhl Stanley Cup media day is going to be the cutest thing you’ll see this week. Stay tuned,” as the boy stood smiling in front of a Stanley Cup backdrop.

From the looks of it, Aaiden seemed excited, as the staff instructed him about how the interview would go. “You will be sitting here and then the player will be sitting right next to you,” said a staff member as the boy nervously sat on the chair. Safe to say that Diggs’ son is ready for his journalism career so early on.

In the next story on his IG, he can be seen on the sidelines wearing an NHL hoodie as he addressed the people saying, “What’s up y’all, my name is Aaiden Diggs. Today we’re at the Stanley Cup Final.” The story was captioned, “Aaiden Diggs reporting for duty [emoji].” Not only the NHL staff, but the young icon also has the support of his grandmother, Stephanie Diggs.

Aaiden Diggs takes a deep dive into hockey with his grandma

Trevon Diggs’ mother took to Instagram and posted a photo of the event that happened at the Amerant Bank Arena. She mentioned how the interviews had already taken place as she posed with her grandson against a huge Oilers vs. Panthers backdrop. The young boy appeared genuinely happy to have gotten this opportunity.

Stephanie Diggs’ IG post read, “Aaiden at The Stanley Cup in Florida. He interviewed a couple of players. We are going to the game tomorrow. He didn’t want to give a prediction.” The Oilers went 49-27 in the Western Conference while the Panthers stand at 52-24 in the Eastern Conference. The game is set to start on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET in Sunrise.

It looks like Diggs’ son is already finding a flair for journalism at such a young age and maybe by the time he gets a bit older, we’ll see him on gridiron sidelines, or maybe in some NHL or even NBA games. Who knows? What are your inputs on this adorable interviewer who is all set for his host media gig?
